EHV lines are type of electrical lines commonly used for experimentation in physics. They stand for 'Extra High Voltage' lines.
The three types are Line to ground faults line to line fault double line to ground fault three phase line to ground fault
The twin moose type of conductor has by far the greatest diameter of any conductor. This allows it to carry more voltage than other types without melting or shorting. Therefore, it is the approved type of conductor for extra high voltage lines.
Extra High Voltage substation. It generally 132 kv or higher
Usually HV is 33KV and 66KV, EHV is 132KV, 220KV and 400KV and UHV is 800KV and 1200KV
Extra High Voltage (EHV) switchgear can be categorized into several types based on their design and application. The main types include gas-insulated switchgear (GIS), which is compact and suitable for space-constrained environments; air-insulated switchgear (AIS), which is more traditional and typically used in outdoor installations; and hybrid switchgear, which combines elements of both GIS and AIS. Each type has distinct advantages regarding safety, maintenance, and environmental considerations.

EHV - EXTRA HIGH VOLTAGE - STARTING 500 KILOVOLTS IN UP (500,000 VOLTS)
220 KV lines used in Kerala have a capacity of 880 Amps
Overhead lines are used in extra high voltage (EHV) AC transmission primarily due to their cost-effectiveness and ease of installation compared to underground cables. They allow for efficient transmission of electricity over long distances with minimal energy losses, as the air acts as an insulator and facilitates heat dissipation. Additionally, maintenance and fault detection are more straightforward with overhead lines. Overall, these factors make overhead lines a preferred choice for EHV AC systems.
The distance between high voltage lines is governed by either a switching impulse voltage or lightning impulse voltage. The distance between lines, or lines and tower must have a high enough dielectric strength to avoid flashover at these voltage. Air can withstand a voltage of 3kv/mm.
EHV = Extra High Voltage. To quote from the Wikipedia article (see link) "...this refers to equipment designed for more than 345,000 volts between conductors." Put simply - EHV transmission is the 'national grid' power system.

Carry electrical power over extremely long distanceswith minimal I2*R losses. The higher the line voltage the lower the current the line has to carry to transmit the power from source to load.
